That's kinda where I'm at. I'm not adverse to the concept of vaccines..I just don't want Jeffrey Dahmer preparing the concoctions before getting arrested.
While I agree that no vaccine should be taken until there is long term safety data (10 years min.) To say that RSV is not a threat to a healthy baby is incorrect.
Certainly some babies may overcome it easier than other due to various factors, including seriousness of infection, if your child is 3 months or less and gets RSV you had better watch them like a hawk, watch their breathing. If the sides of the chest appear to be sucking inwards when they are struggling to breathe, take them to the hospital immediately. They won't be able to overcome it without intervention. When children are very young their immune system isn't fully active yet and as immunity from mom wanes, there is a period of time that is particularly dangerous around 3 months old. Just FYI.
There never was an epidemic of RSV until forced quarantines- I screamed that quarantines would bring about many other diseases precisely because we werent doing our normal "playing in the dirt"
Before 6mos old an infants immune system is too underdeveloped to even mount a response to vax- RSV is another vax they had in the works, just like paxlovid- they knew what would happen and planned accordingly.
Wasnt anti vax before, but 20yrs in molecular diagnostics and 20 yrs of paying attention to my surroundings? Count me on the side of anti vax now...all of em
Keeping them out of daycare the first 6 months of their lives would go a long way towards preventing their catching these things until their immune systems have had a chance to build.
It does. They're learning when a baby breastfeeds, the baby's saliva tells the mom's body what the baby needs, and the mom's body automatically produces antibodies to help the baby fight illness.
My son when he was 8 weeks old ended up with a horrible virus that was "just a cold", and ended up in the hospital. We were told babies younger than 6 months don't know how to breathe through their mouths yet, so it's really hard on them if their nose gets stuffy and they have any kind of congestion. They forget to breathe. The hospital had him on O2 and heart monitors, and had to suction his nose. They had to teach my husband and me how to do it as well so he could be released.
They tested him for RSV and the coof, and he was negative. Wasn't happy about them testing since it didn't change treatment...just meant more money for them testing...but also less because the tests were both negative.
Edit to add: still not letting my kids get the RSV vaccine. Not enough long term studies!
Do NOT get any more vaccines until all this shakes out. These pharma companies cannot be trusted!!!!!

This is another pathogen spread around by the increase in jabs isn't it.

i wonder if breast feeding also helps.

Agreed!
